From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

He's a flatpak reactionary, probably an arch user.
Not all Arch users are the same I guess.
I use arch btw
Had me laugh out loud hard. Am an arch user. I use flatpak to avoid soiling my pristine libraries with 32bit libs.
Im a redhat user, and also dislike flatpaks, snaps, and allat. The only sane "uber package" is appimage and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
